> The billionaire Rob Hale gave the 1,200 graduates of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth a gift, and asked them to give, too.
@paezha "so lads, have we thought up of any clever ways to justify the Rich getting away with it as always?"
Stop me if if you've heard this one.....
Predatory men go "hey, let's live outside society's rules yeah" and then become dangers. Sounds like a cult to me!

A great video by GivingWhatWeCan showing that even a mere primary school teacher earns more than most in the world.
Would it be fair to say that giving to effective charities would be better for the world than being pessimistic about it?

Interesting article that considers some questions about #EffectiveAlturism. There are also other questions that also need considering. Extremes of wealth are wrong even if the wealth is given away to a good cause . Are all workers paid properly? Shouldn't the decision of what is a 'good cause' be largely a decision of governments representing society, etc etc?
However the principle of sharing your privilege through giving is a good one. This sharing can be done in many ways, including giving money.
